Reply With QuoteHi! Nice map! I never tried drawing with a wacom or any graphic tablet, so no advice on that!
I think forest looks good! Maybe you could shrink the edge of the forest a bit and make the forest more irregular, but that's just my two cents!

Hello!
I am currently in the midst of trying out a new style a bit out of my comfort zone - drawing a map in Photoshop with my Wacom.
I usually like to make shapes and throw filters/patterns on them for my maps, but i really wanted to go back to 'drawing' for this current map I am working on.
I am looking for critiques/advice, especially on the forest. I feel like they look too 'bubbly'.
I have a hard time drawing a straight line, which may be part of why I opted for circles/round shapes, but 'pine tree' looking forests just did not look right, and this is the best I have got so far.
Of course, any critiques in general are welcome!

Great idea, i will try that out! Thank you!
It's really nice, morgan!
I think the forest looks "bubbly" because you drew the "bottom" of the trees in the middle as well, if you know what I mean. The perspective wouldn't show that — you'd see only the top lineart.
Ah yes, i totally see it now - thank you for pointing that out! I'm redoing the trees now and i think they are coming out much better know that fact. simple and effective, thanks again!Originally Posted by Bruno Müller
This is my current update. I think I will call it finished for now, but this one sure did help me get some techniques down for future maps
I would love any critiques regardless.
Thank you

Ahh! Good Job! Forest looks great now! Very nice! Only comment: the sea seems made of clouds XD but maybe it's intentional...
Wait, is that really a giant sword towering over the mountains? Yikes!
Awesome, thank you for your feedback! And yes - that is a Sea of Clouds XD Its a floating piece of land where people mainly travel by land or air (hence the air port!)
I am glad it comes across that way, i was very iffy on if it looked like Clouds at all hahaha - Thanks again!
Yeah! A relic left over by the gods who shaped the mountains XD yikes indeed, imagine the shadow that thing must cast! ^_^
